Run back to the forums if you're scared.

Why is Rory Williams so similar to Mickey? Here are some of the similarites I spotted:

  • Both are the boyfriend/husband of one of the Doctor's companions (Rose Tyler and Amy Pond respectively).
  • Both have appeared as an Auton (in their first series too).
  • Both have departed/died in a story which featured a classic enemy.
  • Both had a suprise return in their second series' finale (DW: Army of Ghosts and The Pandorica Opens.
  • Both were recurring characters during their first series.
  • Both joined the TARDIS crew in their second series.

See? Is this Steven Moffat's reimagening of Mickey or not? Or is it just coincidence...?
